Re: (313) EZMLM problem

 Our inquiries to Google have, of course, not been answered.

  The big problem is people with yahoo.com e-mail addresses. The way
 EZMLM
  works is that it takes your e-mail and resends it to all the list
 members.
  Any mail server implementing DMARC rejects e-mails where the FROM:
 address
  is x...@yahoo.com, but it doesn't come from a yahoo mail server.
 
  This has resulted in people getting bounce notices from hyperreal. It
 has
  happened to me, and I don't even have a yahoo.com e-mail address.
 
  Bottom line is the hyperreal team is working on a solution, but this
 will
  likely screw up 313 emails for the near term.

  If you list is still active and hasn't been swept away by folks moving
 to
  Facebook or whatever, you might have heard complaints from
 yahoo.comusers,
  or possibly even folks who have started to see strange bounces where
  yahoo.com senders are involved.  This is due to a current hullabaloo
 about
  an anti-spam tech called DMARC and Yahoo's recent and strict
 implementation
  of it.
 
 
 http://thehackernews.com/2014/04/yahoos-new-dmarc-policy-destroys-every.html
 
  DMARC is a system designed to allow domain owners to specify policies
 and
  rules regarding how to deal with email from senders using that domain.
 For
  example, for an email with a From header like:
 
  From: Brian brianbehlend...@yahoo.com
 
  Yahoo published a policy that says unless that email came from Yahoo's
  servers, it should be rejected.  This is a great anti-spam technique
 given
  that lots of spammers use yahoo.com addresses fraudulently (I guess?).
 But
  what it means for senders to mailing lists like those we host at
 Hyperreal,
  when that mail goes through Hyp and comes back to Yahoo's servers, it
  bounces.  Not only that, but that Yahoo sender's mail bounces at Gmail
 and
  other mail service providers who implement DMARC.  Those bounces can
 cause
  chaos, of course.  Ezmlm/qmail will keep track of those bounces and at
 least
  let subscribers know they're missing messages and why, and shouldn't
 unsub
  those users automatically, but it still causes chaos.
 
  More details on technically why this is wrong:
 
  http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87153.html
 
  Yahoo appears to not get why this is a big deal:
 
 
 http://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/82426971544/an-update-on-our-dmarc-policy-to-protect-
 our-users
 
  There is no good fix here.  Changing the From: header to say something
 like
 
  From: Brian Behlendorf via sfra...@hyperreal.org
 
  seems wacky, but it's what Threadable did, specifically for
 DMARC-checking
  recipients and DMARC-policy-publishing sender domains:
 
  http://blog.threadable.com/how-threadable-solved-the-dmarc-problem
 
  Sadly, though, no open source mailing list manager has implemented this
  well.  Mailman seems to have implemented this partially, but no one's
 even
  talking about this for ezmlm and I doubt it'll happen.  I've not decided
  whether to move the Hyperreal mailing lists to Mailman or something
 else,
  but clearly we need to move off of ezmlm anyways.  I was hoping to be
 able
  to choose between a couple of them, but now that choice seems much more
  narrow (and not necessarily the best - Sympa was looking promising too).
 
  Anyways - I am sad that this is how things have played out, that I can't
  provide a quick resolution to this.  For now all I can suggest is asking
  youryahoo.com users to switch to another domain if they want to
 participate.
  But that sucks as an answer.  If anyone has better ideas (or
  programming/migration talent to contribute) let me know.

 Moodyman doesn't clear samples that I've ever heard, and he's
 basically made a career out of creative use of Motown source material.

 And what about DJ Shadow, where would he be without Stanley Clarke and others?

 The general rule is that no one sues over uncleared samples if there's
 not enough money at stake.  If you think your track is going to blow
 up and be played on the radio and sell thousands of units, then I'd
 worry.  Well, I'd worry before the track blows up, because the time to
 get clearance is before it comes to the attention of the license
 holder.

 PS in most country uncleared sampling is a violation of copyright.  A
 law that can't distinguish between Will Smith's Men In Black and
 Moodyman's Shades of Jae is just stupid.

Re: (313) OT in pocket: Does anybody know about record shopping in india?

Shipping in/out of India (or anywhere in this region) is a nightmare.

You will pay a ton, but use DHL or FedEx (I'm in Dubai and haven't
seen a UPS truck yet).  The next step would be for you to pack it -
like...really overly crazy pack it.  Then, when you go to the FedEx
Kinko's - have them put their packaging over it, including cushioning.
   I would also recommend putting a plastic bag inside of your
packaging, putting your records in that bag and sealing it.   It is
not uncommon for packages to be left in the rain.  And insure it.

Umm. yeah.  The main reason for this is because you have a box that is
outside of normal regulations (size/weight).   This isn't america or
western europe, as I'm sure you are aware.

Good luck in Bangalore.  Be safe - there have been a rash of violent
acts towards westerners up north, and it is quickly spreading south.

Re: (313) beatport awards -- denver club ...

2008-03-19 Thread Mike Davis
Beta Nightclub (http://www.betanightclub.com) is a few blocks from my
loft (Beta is at 19th and Blake in Denver).  The space was formerly
called Rise and was a latin dance music club.  Sadly, the space is in
the center of what I call frat row.  I went to Rise a few times with
friends and it was just that - frat boys with booty-dancing women.

I'm betting Beta will take about 6 months to get off the ground and
nail its target market.  For the early days, I bet the same frat boys
looking to get laid will frequent the place --even though $15/nightly
cover will deter them a bit.

Tonight's the Z-Trip VIP opening night. And Saturday is the Steve Bug
opening night ($25).   Tempting to head down, but I'm cautious that
beyond the cover, the (probably) expensive drinks will keep me away,
sadly.

I really hope it takes off, but by the time it doesI'll be gone.

www.clubbonbon.com  - Hawtin played here a few months ago.   Great
club, a bit on the expensive side if you are on Chinese.salary - Eddie
Haliwell is there soon.

Wynn Win Club:  5F, Plaza 66, 1266 Nanjing Lu near Shaanxi Nan Lu (
南京西路1266号(陕西路口)恒隆广场 5 搂)   - uber high class club from Steve Wynn (the
mega casino owner who owns the new Wynn Hotel in Vegas). Expect to
spend way too much money having too good of a time

and finally... Barbarossa:  231 Nanjing Xi Rd, Peoples Park, behind
Starbucks / next to the Shanghai Art Museum. Walk into the gate next
to the Kathleen's and follow the path.
near Huangpi Road  (南京西路231号,人民公园内) - www.barbarossa.com.cn -  AMAZING
club in the middle of People's Park  (imagine a huge 3 story club in
the middle of Central Park that is bumping every night of the week).
They have great downtempo -- and wonderful fancy drinks.  ;)

There are many American language magazines located throughout town.
Grab one and see what's up.

As for record shops, I couldn't find any -- everyone uses final

Re: (313) Re: United Arab Emirates Techno/House?

2006-11-16 Thread Mike Davis

Currently they have a thriving club scene, probably due to the number
of expatriates living in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (only 19% of the people
living in the UAE are Emirati - with the majority of those expats
being from southern India).

The big name clubs are:

http://www.peppermint-club.com/   The Peppermint Club - Timos Maas and
Armin Van Buren are playing in the coming weeks

http://www.dubailook.com/trilogy.html   Trilogy Dubai -- Terry Francis
played recently.

Cloud 9 and Zinc are also supposed to be pretty nice.

There are probably another 50-80 clubs there doing electronic dance
music - but I'm not finding much information because of the Islamic
influence.   Dubai and Abu Dhabi have very relaxed laws towards
westereners - liquor, dance clubs, dress, everything.   except drugs.
Get caught and you won't be coming back for a while.

Sure, it is a dress to impress kind of place, but sometimes there
are gems in these clubs.
